'I Want An iPhone Mini-Sized Android Phone!'

Wednesday May 18, 2022. 02:50 AM , from Slashdot/Apple
Eric Migicovsky, founder of smartwatch company Pebble and lover of small Android phones, decided to take matters into his own hands and 'rally other fans of small phones together' to put pressure on phone manufacturers to consider making a small Android phone -- complete with all the premium features one could expect to find in a larger device. Essentially, what he wants is an iPhone Mini-sized phone running Android. Is that too much to ask?

Here's an excerpt from his manifesto (via smallandroidphone.com): My Dream Small Android phone
Optimizes for only 3 things:

- Sub 6' display, matching size and design of iPhone 13 Mini
- Great cameras
- Stock Android OS

If you can hit these three bullets, you've built the perfect phone. Currently there are ZERO premium Android phones with less than 6' displays. No amount of money can buy one right now. Focus on these three bullets, all other specs are flexible.

Price: $700-800 (again, we have no alternatives so we should be willing to pay a bit more!) In a call-to-action, Migicovsky asks readers who agree with him to sign up on this page to help 'convince a manufacturer to build us our dream phone.' He adds: 'If no one else makes one I guess I will be forced to make it myself, but I really really don't want it to come to that!'
